Step 1: Break the links on the stripboard

First cut the tracks on the back like this:

Step 2: Solder links between the breakout board and the module

Then solder short lengths of solid core wire in place, either side of the breaks in the strips.

Bend the cut ends inwards so that they will meet the connectors on the module. Trim the ends of so they just reach the module. I actually cut mine a bit short (see below) which made thins more difficult.

Before trying to solder the leads to the module, fit a crocodile clip over the leads to act as a heat sink, otherwise the leads are likely to become detached from the strips beneath.

Step 3: Solder link wire and header sockets

When all the pins are soldered, solder in a link wire between pins 3 and 6. This is also the ground connection.

Step 4: Attach to Arduino

Here is the pinout for the finished module. On the left we have the IC2 connections SDA and SCL that will go to pins A5 and A4 respectively on the Arduino Uno.

The right hand side has a connection ANT (antenna) left and right audio and ground.

Connect all the left hand connections to the Arduino as described above.

If you want to be able to control the tuning of your radio (you don't have to, you can just set the frequency in the sketch) then optionally use a solderless breadboard to hold a pot (I used 10K linear).

The pot should be connected with the center slider to Arduino pin A0 and one end to GND and the other to +5V. Turning this pot will change the frequency.

if you wanted to really make this a smaller project, you could use an ATTiny, 8 pin atmel MPU with an internal 8mhz clock. there is a software I2C bus library written for it. you'd even have 3 IO pins left for buttons, or software serial.

Has anyone had success obtaining RDS station info from one of these FM modules?

Thanks for the great instructable! Because of you I also failed to resist buying one off eBay :)

I didn't have a board, so instead of your breakout board setup I just took two 5-pin pieces of male headers and then bent the little pins to match the spacing of the (oh so tiny!) TEA5767 board, and soldered them that way. I soldered it all flat (see picture), because it was easy that way, plus I didn't trust that it could take the force of being pushed into a breadboard anyway. Then I used M-F jumper wires to connect to the Arduino.

I noticed one little important typo in your instructable though. Where you say "SDA and SCL that will go to pins A5 and A4 respectively on the Arduino Uno.", that is actually backwards. SDA = A4, SCL = A5 (see Wire library reference: http://arduino.cc/it/Reference/Wire)

Once I fixed those connections, it worked like a charm!

ps for others out there - it doesn't drive my earphones directly, but going through my powered computer speakers worked beautifully :)
